Live broadcast of Israel’s war on Gaza: Fears of famine grow as aid failures escalate | Israeli War on Gaza News

The Associated Press (AP) is one of the biggest names in American journalism.

The White House intervened, using diplomatic leverage and the strength of its support for Israel to try to reverse this decision as quickly as possible. And that video feed is now up and running and the images are back and broadcast around the world to customers around the world, including Al Jazeera.

The White House had also expressed concerns that the Israelis might hinder journalists in their work. They said something similar when Al Jazeera was banned from broadcasting in Israel about four weeks ago. But they did not put any pressure on the Israelis.

This time they did. And they said they wanted the Israelis to consider reversing that decision as soon as possible. And here we are, a few hours later, and that’s exactly what happened.

Under foreign press law, the Israelis argued that the footage used of Gaza, the image broadcast, could potentially reveal information. Still, it was a very big, wide picture. And for most of that time, it was essentially a cloud of smoke over the northern Gaza Strip. You couldn’t see troop movements, you couldn’t see details like that.

So there was a lot of concern that the Israelis were taking the law a bit too far. And that was certainly the view of advocates of free speech and journalism in the United States.
